Great topic and idea, Buffy. I'll bite.
My favorite books were the fairy-tale and folk-tale compilations by Ruth Manning-Sanders.
Many of the books had "A Book of..." titles. So you had "A Book of Giants," "A Book of Witches," "A Book of Enchantments and Curses" and much, much more.
Ogres. Trolls. Spells. Castles. Princes. Princesses. Goblins. Mermaids. Talking animals. Great adventures. What kid wouldn't eat that stuff up? I sure did.
And many of Manning-Sanders' books were fabulously illustrated by Robin Jacques.
So, as Buffy says, share your favorites, too!
